TNT Radio’s Sky Dragon Slaying w/ Art Viterito on Geothermal’s Climate Role

Saturday 10th February 2024: Geothermal energy is an emerging and important consideration in understanding earth’s climate. World leading researcher in the field, Professor Arthur Viterito. tells TNT why this long-overlooked science requires mainstream recognition.

Professor Arthur Viterito is a physical geographer from George Washington University of the College of Southern Maryland who has now  retired and is devoting time to revealing the geothermal impact on earth’s climate.

On TNT Radio’s Sky Dragon Slaying show for a full hour, between 9am to 10am Eastern (2pm to 3pm GMT) Principia Scientific’s John O’Sullivan and Joe Postma will be asking, among other things, the question: Is there a link between earthquakes and climate change? 

Dr. Viterito is a member of the Association of American Geographers, the International Association for Urban Climate, and the Maryland State Geographic Information Committee.

Principia Scientific International first learned of Viterito’s important new work via the International Journal of Environmental Sciences and Natural Resources. It featured a new paper showing a significant and growing relationship between mid-ocean seismic activity and global temperatures (extended through 2018). As a result, Professor Viterito first appeared on Sky Dragon Slaying in March 2023.

Published July 16, 2019, ‘The Relationship Between Mid-Ocean Spreading Zone Seismic Activity and Global Temperatures Remains Strong Through 2018,‘ [1] found:

“…a  link between mid-ocean spreading zone seismic activity (MOSZSA) [4] and global temperatures (GT) [5] over the past 40 years. In this brief note, the MOSZSA, as measured by the moment-magnitude 4-6 earthquake frequencies in these high geothermal flux areas, along with GT, are extended through 2018 (Figure 1) to re-test the hypothesis that MOSZSA serves as a significant driver of GT. The methods employed are the same as those detailed in CSARGW with one exception: the data from University of Alabama – Huntsville, version 6.0, are now averaged with the Remote Sensing Systems (RSS) version 4.0 data instead of the older RSS 3.3 version.”

Interest in Professor Viterito’s analysis has since grown so we will joining TNT Radio LIVE  discussing his analysis of how climate and geothermal flux are linked.

 Biography for Professor Arthur Viterito:

https://heartland.org/about-us/who-we-are/arthur-viterito-phd/

Dr. Viterito received his Ph.D. in geography from the University of Denver with specialties in climatology and physical geography. He has published research in the areas of radiational receipt, urban climatology, and global climate change, and his work in urban climatology was cited in the first report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. His latest publication, “The Correlation of Seismic Activity and Recent Global Warming,” appears in the April 2016 issue of the Journal of Earth Science and Climatic Change. The study establishes the connection of increased geothermal flux with warming of the global climate since 1979. Dr. Viterito is a member of the Association of American Geographers, the International Association for Urban Climate, and the Maryland State Geographic Information Committee.
